This statement is <em>False</em>. According to social sciences, prejudice is a preconceived opinion towards a person, a member of a group or a whole group, and is not based on reason or real experience. Prejudice can be manifested as affective feelings towards someone, exclusively on the basis of that person's belonging to a group.

Discrimination is an unjust, harmful and prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, can be based on race, age or gender. In human social behavior, according to social sciences, discrimination involves discriminatory treatment or making a difference between a person or a group based on a different race, sex, age, etc.

The difference between prejudice and discrimination in a social sense is that prejudice is maintained in one's opinion and does not necessarily mean discriminatory treatment towards someone. Discrimination implies a discriminatory act towards someone, and usually those who do so may have an already created prejudice towards someone, which is the reason for their discriminatory action. Hence, there is a similarity between these two negative social phenomena, although they are not the same.

Why was protecting economic freedom important to the founders
klio [65]

Answer:History continues to prove the wisdom of the Founders' belief in the unity of both political and economic freedom. ... Then, as now, some have wanted government to impose regulations, tariffs, taxes, or other interventions to protect and advantage certain activities and to minimize economic risk.

Explanation:

Freedom itself was important to our country's Founders. Our right to be free was built into the Constitution, especially in the Bill of Rights, which prevented Congress from passing laws that infringe upon our freedoms. ... Because our natural rights come from God, and not from other people, or the government.

Summarize the Environmental Treaty of the Kyoto Protocol. What were the results of the treaty?
irinina [24]

The Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that (part one) global warming is occurring and (part two) that human-made CO2 emissions are driving it. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. There were 192 parties (Canada withdrew from the protocol, effective December 2012) to the Protocol in 2020.
